Topic: Building from source (Read 2414 times)

I'm following this link to build my development environment http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Building_LinuxMCE_0810I was able to run the preparation steps one by one then I run "./build.sh" and I can see all packages created/moved to "/var/www"after installing apache2 on the builder machine, I moved to the test machine and I did "pre-install-from-repo.sh" per "Installing 0810"and I modifed my "sources.list" to use my "deb http://192.168.0.35/ ./" instead of "deb http://deb.linuxmce.org/ubuntu/ interpid beta2"when I run "apt-get update" on the test machine I get the following error " W: failed to fetch http://192.168.0.35/ ./Packages.gz 404 Not Found"I can see "Packages.gz" on the builder machine under "/var/www" Any ideas???

Im lookin to build from source however I dont want to ruin my current live hybrid setup.Can I build my dev environment in a VM setup? or what is the best method?If VM is an option anyone know where I can download a kubuntu VM setup?

Sure you can run build env under VMWare or under VirtualBox which is free. Just install it and create a new Ubuntu virtual machine. Then install Kubuntu nad setup dev env as it's described in the wiki. BTW, you can have on your core and use chroot env to isolate it.

yes still good, but...... there is a script floating around that possy made to make a chroot environment, was easy to use.i just used a clean ubuntu install on virtualbox and than made a chroot build on it.

BTW, make sure you make your hard drive big enough, it probably needs to be 60Gb+ or even 80Gb so, i ran out of space on my 40Gb and it's difficult to expand the hard drive space on virtualbox.

On a side note to save some space, don't make the cd1 and cd2 iso's

I build mine in a virtualbox and it's good to go now, even got the apache server working going out.

Currently I have LMCE 7.10 working, and would like to give 8.10 a try. Do you think it is possible to set up a virtual machine with 8.10 on the same box ? Is there anyone that already did it?I'm asking this because my core is actually the only box with enough disc space and horse power that I have. I guess that the problem may be on the network side, as both LMCEs would claim to be in the 192.168.80.0 network and try to be the DHCP server for that.Is there any hint/setting for VMware/Virtualbox to prevent such a network mess?

Now i'm trying to make another vm to test the build.

Why do I need 60+GB of space all I want to do is setup an environment where I can fool around with the code and database!?Would less then 10GB not suffice?

I have 40Gb for Virtual Box LinuxMCE installation. To just run and test LinuxMCE is enough 10GB. But to setup env for building LinuxMCE it's not. The full checkout of the sources is about 5GB or more if I remember correctly.
